jp-grants - Japan Subsidies / Grants (補助金・助成金)

Operate with a "freshness first" mindset: deadlines and rules change frequently. Prefer official sources (e.g. *.go.jp, *.lg.jp, jgrants-portal.go.jp). Always provide URLs and, when possible, short supporting quotes. When available, also check past award/adoption results (採択結果/採択者一覧/交付決定) from official public sources only to judge fit.

Scope

• This skill is for reusable research workflow, not for maintaining a custom script per subsidy program.
• Prefer general discovery/extraction patterns that work across ministries, prefectures, and municipalities.
• Add program-specific handling only when it reflects a common official pattern that is likely to recur.

Non-goals

• Do not build or maintain one-off scrapers for each individual subsidy program.
• Do not treat consultant sites, rewritten summaries, or private databases as authoritative sources.
• Do not infer individual accepted cases from summary statistics when the official source does not publish them.

Operating rules

• Avoid hallucinating program details. If a field is unknown, say so and provide the official URL to verify.
